After a few hours of playing, the save stopped working

[Kroolikowy]

After playing about 5h of the game, suddenly the saves stopped working, both quick save and manuals display an error. The game is cool, but the last working save I have is about 1.5h behind

[Defiant]

Having the same issue. still trying to find a fix

[Varris]

On which game day it broke? In my case on day 29.

I believe they are working on the whole save system, but after a while of playing if you have too many saves the game will just stop saving, you can either hit 'Load Game' and delete the first saves you have or go to your saves folder (while out of game, you can corrupt your save files) located at (C:\Users\"USERNAME"\AppData\LocalLow\JutsuGames\Infection Free Zone\Saves) and delete some that way. if you do it that way look at the date on the file and you can tell which ones your latest save, all folders are their own separate save file not the map that you're playing on. hope this helps.

I found weird workaround, so I in my case save issue happend only on 29 day. I reloaded the save from day 27 then I didn't sent the scouts for scavenging outside of my map area and change option in army related quest when they sent wounded soldiers I didn't offer to give soldiers and volunteers but only soldiers this time . After this I could save normaly and autosave works as well.

I have also tried to delete saves but it didn't work unfortunately.

The best advice l can give is that.
1: Turn off the autosaves into limited saves, it WILL still autosave, but lot less frequently, making the game work lot more smoothly.

2: Void massive City areas that require to load up long time. l found it best to play somewhere far away like Iceland or any small Island type of location. As the game will always take longer to load in to game when there is lot of buildings and areas in general near you. (Also this "may" prevent some bugs from happening, or at least for me l haven't had any issues yet so far while playing in more less populated, and isolated area.)

3: Avoid saving / or leaving the game when there is active Event going on. Such's as Roaming survivors. Or Survivors heading to your HQ to be invited to your Zone. This may cause and glitch and corrupt your save file while the Roaming survivors are heading to your location. Or if you can't overall get the Roaming survivor event to trigger. DO NOT save the game, or you will loose your save file.

Suggest using the limited autosaves, it still saves the game but lot more less frequently. And its bit annoying overall the game every 6am? or was it 6pm to just autosave and freeze up your game anyways, so it overall makes it less pain in the ass to deal with.

Yea, game saves 2 times anyway. Both with limited autosaves and normal

I don't know whats causing the save problem but I've found certain maps just won't load no matter what. I tested this by starting new games and going to random locations and then saving right away and reloading. Some worked some bugged and didn't load so I donno if it's a location thing or what. Someone else said it was rescued survivors not going to HQ that bugs it as well so who knows. My home town location was the first spot i tried and it wouldn't load for two of the squares I could pick. Some of the others to the left of those would work. lol

We know about the issue with saves, we’re trying to fix it. Check if this is also happening on the open beta.
Please add me to friends and send me your corrupted save file, or try to record your next game and get us a video of what’s happening just before the crash. It might help us to fix the issue.
